man I get the super burrito was asada. no beans, no onions and get it mild. I always leave extra for later because somehow it gets even better when you put it into the microwave. Tried other taco trucks and whenever I get mild its literally flavorless but this truck is just different. Been going since high school.

These were the best pastor tacos I've had since I lived in Mexico when I was younger. They were so sweet taking my order, gave me and my friend four tacos even though we ordered three each, and it was so cheap. I will come back here any time I'm in the area please stop here if you're craving tacos.

Hands down best taco truck around. I’ve tried SEVERAL different taco trucks and I gotta say this one stands out on top. Alex and his father present you with outstanding customer service and never fail to satisfy your taste buds. I’ve been coming to this spot for well over 10 years and it’s been a phenomenal experience each and every time. I have a pretty extensive and complicated order and they always deliver the food to me exactly as I ordered it. Overall I highly recommend La Piedad Taco Truck to anyone and everyone! It is a must try!!
